Can You Give Your Dog Raw Meat: Experts Assess the Consequences
Dog owners still believe that the best treat for their pet is raw meat. Supposedly, it is not only the best, but also a natural, harmless treat.
But not everyone agrees with this, and experts suggest that such owners reconsider their approach to feeding their dog, and at the same time, the animal’s diet.
Experts have explained why raw meat or fish can be harmful to dogs.
Research on this topic was conducted by representatives of the University of Bristol.
The fears were confirmed - feeding your dog raw meat can infect it with so-called superbugs.
These include Escherichia coli, an intestinal bacterium that is resistant to antibiotic treatment.
The conclusions were made during an analysis of the diet of purebred dogs.
The link between feeding raw meat and the presence of E. coli in the animal's body has been confirmed.
But the most terrible thing is that bacteria picked up by an animal can be transmitted to humans.
Therefore, experts do not recommend feeding pets raw meat and offal, and also advise taking precautions when in contact with animals.
